A Hawaii baby born with microcephaly, an unusually small head, had been infected with the Zika virus. The case could be the first one reported in the United States linking the birth defect with the virus, CNN reports.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that the baby recently born in Oahu was infected in the past.
"The mother likely had Zika infection when she was residing in Brazil in May 2015 and her newborn acquired the infection in the womb," Hawaii's health department said.
